Homeschooling is not always a viable option.

But you can still show up at public school!

Showing Up

Generally speaking, I cannot over-emphasize the importance of keeping our kids out of the public school system. Yet, many private schools fare no better as they are ill-equipped to deal with expelled public school kids who get sent their way. Since homeschooling is not always a viable option public school may be all that is left. If that is your plight then I am suggesting that as often as you can find reasons to show up on the public school grounds.

If it is appropriate and acceptable have lunch with your child occasionally and confer with teachers often. Or, if time permits help out as a school volunteer. Encourage other parents to do the same. This can build relationships, accountability, and a better learning environment all at the same time.

Shepherds Hill Academy: Transforming Lives, Transforming Culture

Endorsements

"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist

"It is such a wonderful, God inspired thing you have done to help all of these children. I think people would love to read your book and learn more. You have helped changed so many lives, people will want to realize & learn about the work you are doing. It is so important." - Doris Newcomb, WFAX
